PULITZER PRIZE IS AWARDED TO NEBRASKA MAN Charles S. Ryckman Judged Writer of Best Editorial. By United Prt-tt NEW YORK, May 5-—An editorial on Senator George W. Norris, the insurgent Nebraskan, today brought to an obscure middle western newspaper man, Charles S. Ryckman of the Fremont (Neb.) Tribune, the Pulitzer prize, one of journalism’s greatest awards. Ryckman was chosen from thousands of editorial writers in large metropolitan cities throughout the country as the recipient of the SSOO award for his editorial: “The Gentleman From Nebraska.” The editorial was Judged for “clearness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning and power to influence public opinion in what the writer conceives to be the right direction.’* Real, old-fashioned reporting won the prize for A. B. MacDonald of the Kansas City Star, who covered a murder story in Amarillo, Tex. wirs. A. D. Payne was killed and her son critically injured in a bomb explosion which wrecked their automobile. Payne, an attorney, hinted at “enemies” he had made during his law practice. MacDonald learned of a woman who admitted her friendship wuth Payne twenty-four hours after he had been assigned to the story. Payne was jailed and admitted planting the bomb which killed his wife. Then he killed himself in his cell with another bomb of his own construction. A SSOO gold medal was awarded the Atlanta Constitution, one of the most famous papers of the south, for exposure of a ring of racketeers that was draining the city’s coffers. Robert Frost has won the Pulitzer prize for the second time. His “Collected Poems” were chosen for the 1030 award. In 1924 his “New Hampshire” took the prize. FEDERAL RULING MAY ROCK R. C. A. POWER

Radio Commission, However, Unlikely to Ban Plea Without Hearing, By United Prest WASHINGTON, May s.—The federal radio commission may make known its attitude today on the controversial section of the radio act under which an attack has been made on licenses held by the Radio Corporation of America. It was understood that a ship license held by the Radiomarine Corporation was expiring, and the attitude of the commission could be established through a favorable or unfavorable ruling on the R. C. A. application for renewal. Any move by the radio commission in a case of such importance, iiowever, probably will be attended by hearings, at which the R. C. A. will have an opportunity to present its side of the argument.

ment faced a strong counter-attack today from two sides. Charges of incompetency and dishonesty have been brought against George U. Harvey, Queens borough president and the first Republican to be accused of misadministration of a city office. The charges were forwarded to Governor Roosevelt by Fritz Brieger. former Queens superintendent of street cleaning. An attack on the state legislative city-wide inquiry was aimed against its Republican chairman, state Senator Samuel H. Hofstadter, Brieger’s charges against Harvey ranged from “wrongful use of public office to promote fraudulent stock schemes" to "payroll padding. ’ with the result that ‘the borough administration of Queens has been brought into disrepute.”
